hey shannon, I just saw a movie featuring these guys... you did a good job.

Artist Reply: Thanks, John. I haven't had a chance to see the movie yet--someday, maybe when my son's ready for babysitters... Heck, that may be a decade from now ;-)!

Took me some time to figure the image out. Nice stlye and direction. Unique piece. I'd really love to see you do color on the boards. Come'on! you can do it! ;)

Artist Reply: Thanks for your comment, Michael. Yeah, eventually I'll actually paint the boards--but my color palette right now only includes blue, green, orange and "antelope brown." Guess I should do some antelopes ;-) ...

a very cute piece.

Artist Reply: Thanks Laura--I don't often get to do "cute" and when I do I really like it--it's much different and childlike to me.

perfect original gift for a collector Shannon

Artist Reply: Thanks, Femi! I immediately gave a matted print of it to my penguin collecting pal and she was thrilled (although another friend was ticked at me because SHE wanted to buy the print for Christmas to give our mutual friend...). Anyhow, I assured the one I certainly wouldn't mind selling her the ORIGINAL to give as a gift. ;-) She snarled and so I'm doing a penguin papercutting for her to give instead :-) I am under STRICT orders not to give (or sell) THAT one to anyone else. :-) Works for me! :-)

Sybille Sterk 02 Sep 2005

This is really lovely. Very cosy and warm

Artist Reply: Thank you, Sybille. THANK YOU! That's what I was hoping someone would say about it. I wanted very badly to show a moment of affection between the two, and a moment of warmth in the cold setting. Thanks a ton!

Asoka(Mattias) Långström 01 Sep 2005

very beutyfull!

Artist Reply: Thank you, Asoka. It was fun to play with penguin imagery for a while--even though it had to be brief :-) .

Aris Stathakis 01 Sep 2005

Artist Reply: Thank you, Aris--I enjoyed putting this one together!

shannon i like this image, but i think , for me personely, i would have liked to just see it in black and white.maybe because i'm a black and white nut? but it is a very well done piece.this is one of those pieces i would like to view up close.but i do like it, espically since i just watched march of the penguins not that long ago.

Artist Reply: The black and white is sharper (of course I'm sitting with the original right next to me so it better be sharper ;-) . I'm also a big fan of black and white, but I didn't feel comfortable enough putting up this one in just the B&W because it has some things I personally consider highlighting "issues" *sigh* . I haven't gotten to see the movie yet--I seem to never have time--but it sounds really amazing. Thanks, Ryan, your input is always appreciated :-).

Andrew Diaz 01 Sep 2005

unique! I like this one.

Artist Reply: Thanks, Andrew!

Kristina Ackerman 01 Sep 2005

Is it the photo, or is the original image this dark? Once I figured out what I was looking at, it was very cute... but I'm missing a lot of details that I really want to see.

Artist Reply: Yeah, unfortunately it didn't come in here as sharply--you can't even see the little stars in the sky :-( . The original is very sharp and a good deal brighter--sorry this image isn't closer to it...
